Summary

Stand-up comedy is still the Olympics of live entertainment, requiring practitioners to be fast on their feet, swift with the words and quick with the quip. Ralphie May, an alum of NBC's reality show "Last Comic Standing," hosts this showcase that features some of the best African-American comedians on the scene. The lineup includes veterans of the circuit and newcomers such as Shenika, Joe Cleezy, Joe Torry, Tommy Chunn and Alex Thomas.
